Useful guidelines

I don't suppose any of it will make a blind bit of difference - some people seem to wear rose-coloured specs when a mirror is held up in front of them , so just can't see themselves as they appear to others!That is on both ends of the spectrum, and one is as bad as the other, in different ways.

Ah well, that is true in life as well as on the forum.

I get to the point where I daren't post in case it upsets someone! I do feel a little inhibited on GN, which those of you who have met me, is not me!

Elegran.

I enjoyed your post 13.07. very much. I had thought to post something very similar but I'm afraid I would have been a little less subtle with my wording.

I also thought you spoke soundly on the thread that has, let's face it, generated this one, Do you ever feel intimidated?

To see ourselves as others see us!!

These patients would probably come under the chirpractor, greatnan (depending of course on the chiropractor's ability, experience and personal charm)

Brilliant story about the school motto, thank you.
We will forgive the gratuitous use of Latin, just this once, I think.

What if it is a chronic case of 'pain in the neck' or 'pain in the butt'?

Lilygran There is not a test. Grades will be awarded on classwork - on each and every post submitted. Type on one side of the screen only, double spaced to leave room for critical comments.

Final assessment will be issued after the poster has stormed off Gransnet in a huff and will take the form of a round robin PM to be added to and signed by every member. Appeals to be addressed to GNHQ in triplicate, with a note from GP (or chiropractor in the case of out-of-joint nose)

Thanks very much! Yes, Pudding is Juragran's cat, who sleeps on the pillow next to me!
I have had a migraine, and though it is gone now it always leaves me a bit shattered the next day.

Greatnan you may not be an anstronomist but you are a star.

Will do, Greatnan. Is Pudding a cat?

What's up with you? You're not your usual robust self?

Both are more useful than I am! (Except to Gatsby and Pudding - they love me!) Anno - you can come again!

And did you mean people who sew or underground drains?
Just politely trying to clarify?

greatnan you reminded me of a T-shirt I used to wear when sailing (as crew) with Mr A in our youth.
It was emblazoned with the motto of the crews' union:
'It's hard to be humble when you know you're great'.

But, Greatnan, you are pretty damn good at walking! And, besides, you are a great host and very good company.

I don't know - I am still in post-migraine phase of woolly thinking. Astronomers? Why didn't spell check work?

What's an astronomist?

Greatnan your motto made laugh. I am thinking of having something similar for myself.

I know I am inferior to all the artists, musicians, cooks, sewers,knitters, quilters, astronomists, scientists, yoga experts, runners, sportswomen, and probably good mothers. I have learnt to live with my inferiority. My motto is 'I have done my best - and it wasn't good enough'. (I am very good at crosswords and sudoku though).

I did Latin I got the magnificent score of 24% at o level!

IMHO this is an excellent thread and I agree with everything everyone has said.

Sadly, only the cleverest girls at my school learnt Latin, and I wasn't one of them. So I am going to complain that I am being excluded and made to feel inferior by the Latin Experts' Clique.

Happy Sunday everyone.

Made both me and Mr Lily laugh aloud, Granny23. BTW I'm still waiting to find out if we get a test on the 'Guidelines' Parts 1 & 2. I shan't bother to learn them if there isn't.

Elegran you could give Poirot a run for his money! * for initiative.
